We’re proud to share some highlights from our recent Service Week, an experience that powerfully reflects the values and vision of an ACS education.

At ACS, we believe education must go beyond academics. It should challenge students to engage with real-world issues, act with empathy, and lead with purpose. Service Week is a direct extension of this belief. It offers our students the chance to put learning into action and to contribute meaningfully, work collaboratively, and grow as individuals committed to something larger than themselves.

Throughout the week, students took on a variety of service projects, from planting trees to organizing a Field Day for our youngest learners. Their energy, compassion, and leadership were unmistakable. These weren’t just school activities, they were authentic learning moments that developed critical life skills: adaptability, initiative, teamwork, and social responsibility.

We’re deeply grateful to the parents who supported their children in this journey. Your encouragement was instrumental in making these experiences possible. As we continue to refine and expand these opportunities, we welcome your feedback and ideas so we can keep strengthening what we believe is an essential part of our program.  If you would like, please fill out the 24/25 Service Week Family Feedback form and we will review it in preparation for next year's work.

At ACS, we’re not just preparing students for the next grade, we’re preparing them for life. Service Week is one of the ways we do that.

AP Thank you!

This Friday will wrap up our on-site AP testing.  A huge thanks to Ms. Ellen Hindeleh, who does an absolutely amazing job as our AP Coordinator and ensures that each and every testing session goes as planned.  A well organized and efficient system is one of the building blocks for a successful testing atmosphere for students.

HS Learning Series #7

Thank you all to those who have kept up-to-date with our HS Learning series sessions.  Our intent for this was to give families a peek into the behind the scenes process that goes into our teaching and learning, with an emphasis on demystifying some of the potential unknowns of education.  We will continue to have these accessible via the WGO into next school year.
